Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris lpsI and lpsJ genes encoding putative proteins with sequence similarity to the alpha- and beta-subunits of 3-oxoacid CoA-transferases are involved in LPS biosynthesis.

Abstract excerpt

A 2.1-kb SmaI-EcoRI DNA fragment upstream of the xanA and xanB genes of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris carries two ORFs encoding putative proteins with sequence similarities to the alpha- and beta-subunits of 3-oxoacid-CoA transferases. The two ORFs were termed lpsI and lpsJ because strains carrying appropriate mutations showed an autoagglutination phenotype and because lipopolysaccharides of these mutant...
